Gitpod for hardware design?

[Kreyren]

Is there some way to get an environment for hardware design in gitpod?

Expectation

Circuit designer

To design a circuit for manufacturer to create

example

Circuit simulator

To visually see what voltage and wave form is present on the exact part of the circuit

live preview on: https://makezine.com/2015/07/14/design-circuits-web-based-circuit-simulator/

Circuit checker

basically linting for circuit design in case unexpected voltage is provided in a component that is not made for the voltage, etc..

Basically linting to prevent common mistakes alike: https://youtu.be/Tq-EpR-8R0w?t=778

Board design

To adapt the circuit design on the board itself and specify silkscreen and components for manufacturing

Some method to adapt this for contribution

submitting circuit design for a contribution is currently pita if there would be some overlay in gitpod that would allow to blame specific parts of the design then it would speed up the development

3D designer

some way to implement blender to design the casing and make a mock-up

Proposed solutions

ComponentEditor?

https://github.com/Circuito-io/ComponentEditor

Seems to be oriented on making some kind of component database -> doesn't meet the requiremenys

I'll get a repo set up
please see https://github.com/JesterOrNot/Gitpod-Hardware

@Kreyren Specifically what tools would you want for this experience?

[jankeromnes]

Please take a look at https://github.com/Circuito-io/ComponentEditor, which seems related. 🙂

It should already work well with Gitpod.

Sorry for the delay i was busy

Elaborate on tools? Expecting something from distro repositories or?

That repository seems to be oriented on making some kind of database of components?

Doesn't seem to meet the requirements

EDIT: looking at the video on https://youtu.be/i3CpeFhRLI4 it seems to be helper for arduino where i'm looking for something to develop PC motherboard, power supplies, etc..

To provide a real-life example currently the best alternative i found for online IDE is fritzing running in rollApp: https://www.rollapp.com/launch/fritzing (requires an account)
